We have always been here, and so have our stories. Queer writers and writing about LGBTQ+ people have existed since the dawn of writing itself, from Ancient Mesopotamia through to the Victorians right up to to the present day, where we are currently experiencing a vibrant new era of queer writing. The Queer Bookshelf is your ultimate guide to this rich history. Alongside the author's own love affair with queer books, this book is packed with recommendations from prominent queer authors, booksellers, and readers and is an entertaining journey through the evolution of queer literature to discover the most important, fascinating, and fun queer classics from around the world. Literary classics, pulp fiction, war writing, crime thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, young adult books: all have a queer history and future. The Queer Bookshelf lights the way, making it the perfect companion for anyone beginning or continuing their queer reading journey.
